- Deletions and deletionism goes against the entire basic premise of Wikipedia: Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing. — Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia.
- It's easy to criticize and delete, whereas it's much more difficult to do research and create content. "Better to light a candle than curse the darkness." — Peter Benenson, founder of Amnesty International.
- Wikipedia is not censored.
- Article additions and expansions as well as adding sources, and allowing time for them to occur, is highly superior to simply deleting articles
